Hi All,

A friend is having issues changing his contact info on a domain. The Admin contact E-Mail address points to a Cogeco mailbox that was attached to an account that was closed years ago.

However, it seems Cogeco doesn't bounce messages to non-existent mailboxes. So he's stuck. And his domain is give from the DNS servers, which is a drag.

Thoughts?

It depends on who the registrar is, but I have been able to do it by providing the the last four digits of the credit card used to purchase the pervious renewal. Trying contacting their support email address and see what happens. It's ridiculously easy to steal a domain now though social-engineering, so it should be easy to do it legitimately. -- Have an awesome day, and happy open-sourcing :-).
